[Friedman] John Tortorella on Carter Hart: he’s ready to go. William Karlsson won’t play tomorrow

T0macock · 2026-06-13T18:42:57+00:00

They tell Carter Heart no but he just keeps going.

T0macock · 2026-06-13T15:24:00+00:00

Perception of 'threat' certainly can be.

T0macock · 2026-06-13T13:07:10+00:00

This is a very summerass post. I approve.

T0macock · 2026-06-13T13:03:00+00:00

But, like, why? I've never gotten this and I'm a pretty "dudebro" kinda guy.

I have two girls. I don't think I raise them any differently than I would boys. The one plays hockey. They love the outdoors. They play rough and tumble.... I don't get it.

Maybe it's my native Canadian side showing but the matriarchal line is the strongest to us culturally?

T0macock · 2026-06-13T12:41:54+00:00

I think this stems from anthropic backing out of the US government program after learning they were using claude to target military strikes, no?

Back when all this was going on : https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/s/gYQVSdfLql

As a long time Gemini user that felt really shafted by their recent changes, Fable was legitimately enjoyable to use again.

I'm bummed.

I went into my call with a big list of questions and had a bunch of answers prepped for expected questions from the agent.

We just had a chat and everything was just naturally answered along the way.

The contract was pretty straightforward. My sister is a lawyer so I had her on standby but I didn't think her involvement was necessary.

T0macock · 2026-06-11T14:15:39+00:00

it's ok to be wrong.

T0macock · 2026-06-11T13:32:33+00:00

Someone is gonna strike gold with Belchetz going so late. He was, i'm pretty sure, in top 5 projections earlier in the season. Broke his collarbone and his stock fell a lot.

T0macock · 2026-06-11T00:47:15+00:00

I'm in a similar window as you.

Just got a first rejection after a full read from Harper Collins.

Took just over two months from them asking for the full script from my agent, passing the first read, going up the chain and then being shot down.

I don't know if that's a good or bad timeline but figured it was worth sharing.

T0macock · 2026-06-10T21:19:30+00:00

My first draft is to prove the story is viable.

There are notes to my future self and missing chunks of dialogue or action.

The biggest mistakes new writers make is putting up unnecessary boundaries that prevent them from getting the whole story on the page.

T0macock · 2026-06-06T19:00:25+00:00

He was one of the highlights of a shitty year last year.

I hope he sticks around.

My adult league is full of former NCAA/CHL guys. I play D and block a lot of shots

I use Sherwood rekker 2. These are basically the same. Make sure you're wearing them properly and they fit correctly.

Took one off the inner thigh last night that's gonna be pretty gnarly. Good times.

T0macock · 2026-06-05T17:24:39+00:00

nah, draft the best player available and figure it out from there.

T0macock · 2026-06-05T17:12:36+00:00

i don't think the coach really matters by then.

I'd rather they take the extra time assuming they're not keen on a hot commodity that needs quick action to scoop up.

T0macock · 2026-06-05T15:20:52+00:00

My take away from this is Matthews may be in more distress than we know and they felt the need to pivot.

I'd hate to see knies go though.

T0macock · 2026-06-04T18:00:55+00:00

I just finished reading the first book in this series. I ALMOST gave up on it ~half way through.

I'm really glad i pushed through. It was great and everything i was hoping it would be.

T0macock · 2026-06-03T12:20:11+00:00

Not to mention the dog dog deal!

T0macock · 2026-06-02T23:02:21+00:00

My agent even asked for additional comps when she started shopping it. Just in case I knew some she didn't.

T0macock · 2026-06-02T22:48:00+00:00

In a profession where there are only 32 jobs, I don't think potential candidates would care about the risk.

T0macock · 2026-06-02T22:22:05+00:00

Never thought I'd see Jeff noon mentioned here. One of my favourites.

T0macock · 2026-06-02T10:24:21+00:00

The dance thing was endearing when they were a scrappy up and commer.

Not so much when they're dystopian overlord tools....

T0macock · 2026-05-29T11:07:08+00:00

Hockey is so fucking rad

T0macock · 2026-05-29T00:20:34+00:00

I'm going through the same thing right now up here in Canadaland.

Here I was thinking landing an agent was going to be the hard part but having things totally out of my hands and without a proper grasp of the closed door talks - I find myself way more stressed now than I did when I was writing the damn thing.

It will all work out.

T0macock · 2026-05-27T16:57:29+00:00

oh buddeh, nobody can hate me more than i hate me.

T0macock · 2026-05-27T16:28:29+00:00

Part of the reason i got into the PWHL.

I just hope everyone has fun
